My Husband is the Emperor : I Woke Up With a Husband

Working with Xie Hue Lin had its advantage but more of disadvantage to Ku Chenxiang. The manager had to bear with Xie Hue Lin’s random burst of anger. If Xie Hue Lin doesn’t like the clothes her stylist brought, she would snap in anger. The words of curses often came from the woman’s mouth and only until everything goes on her way would Xie Hue Lin calm down.

It wasn’t rare for Xie Hue Lin to throw things to people and most people was afraid to be thrown by her but had to keep their words of complains in silence out of fear they would be fired by her.

"When will the announcement of winner this year begin?"

"It would be hold on the end of this month," replied Ku Chenxiang quickly. The only reason why Ku Chenxiang stayed as Xie Hue Lin’s manager was the money the woman had and the fame. To other managers, she was the source of envy and it made Ku Chenxiang happy that many looked at her with eyes stating that she was unfair for being Xie Hue Lin’s manager. Both people don’t think much of each other with one using another.

"End of this month," repeated Xie Hue Lin. It would be a great embarrassment if Li Lian who came later in the ranking won when Xie Hue Lin started before her. She had to do something that could ruin Li Lian’s ranking before the end of this month. But what?

A knock suddenly came upon their room. Ku Chenxiang quickly ran to open the door to see an employee of the company and her meek expression turn prideful. "What is it?" asked Ku Chenxiang, raising her brows at the employee.

"Director He is about to come to meet Singer Xie." Xie Hue Lin by the to,e had stood up. Hearing the employee’s words, her smile grew wide in joy. She quickly left the door before she did, she eyes the employee.

"You are smart. Good keep reporting to me if Chang Min come and I will give you reward." Xie Hue Lin sweetly said the words to the woman.

The employee beamed to happiness at the mention of reward and Xie Hue Lin grinned. There were many underclass people than her who at the mention of money would wag their tail unashamedly that even made her rolled her eyes at their lack of pride. It was one of Xie Hue Lin’s delight to see people sweet talking to her needing what she had and Li Lian was supposed to be one of this people. Yet like a nightmare each day Li Lian’s fame continued to hunt her.

Seeing He Chang Min from afar, Xie Hue Lin quickly ran, making her way to hug He Chang Min’s hand, "Min ge! I don’t expect you to be here. We’re you about to meet me?"

Xie Hue Lin gripped tight to He Chang Min’s arm, like a treasure he was. In this world, He Chang Min was Xie Hue Lin’s insurance. Even if she was in a plight that will never come, He Chang Min would become the Charming Prince she made him to be. He was the man who was with wealth that she stole from her sister but now he is hers. Every words she said, He Chang Min sweetly agreed, supporting her to whatever she wished for just like the man she had made him to be.

Xie Hue Lin was in a better mood without knowing what emotions swirling inside He Chang Min’s eyes. Anger came over him. All this time the act he did in order to revenge Li Lian’s death until he realized Li Lian was still alive. That day when he had to break her engagement with Li Lian, He Chang Min hoped he would be able to tell Li Lian the truth but everything happened so fast that he didn’t have the chance.

The next thing happened, Li Lian had entered her car and was involved in a car crash. Learning her death, He Chang Min felt the pain and loss he felt turn to anger. To his mother who since he was born controlled every move he made and Xie Hue Lin. The woman who acted as if she was the sweetest person in the world who couldn’t hurt a fly.

However despite all He Chang Min knew he was wrong. Even if there was no way, he should have fought his relationship for Li Lian. Instead he let himself fell to Xie Hue Lin’s trap.

He Chang Min turned his sorrow and disappointment of himself to others. It was easier to hate people than blaming themselves. As much as He Chang Min has cursed himself, he knew that blaming wouldn’t solve the problem.

"I did. Do you guess that I came?" asked He Chang Min, sweet smile staying on his lips which was the complete opposite to what he was feeling.

"I didn’t. I was surprised!" Xie Hue Lin giggled to him and He Chang Min smiled back. He knew she was lying. After staying beside Xie Hue Lin for years. He Chang Min learned which was different was lies from her words.

"I came to ask you if you want to eat out but you seem busy." He Chang Min eyed Ku Chenxiang who was standing behind Xie Hue Lin, not too far from them who was silent.

Xie Hue Lin wanted to say no but she has less than half an hour to attend her next stage. "I want to be with you a little longer and eat together but I still have work."

"I also wish to have more time with you but we can go later," He Chang Min coaxed Xie Hue Lin. "I promise next Sunday to make time for you."

"Really?! Okay, I’ll see you again soon." Xie Hue Lin rounded her arms on He Chang Min’s shoulder, pulling his neck to bend down, and pressed her lips over him. "I’ll miss you."

"I’ll miss you too," He Chang Min played the act of the sweet boyfriend who hated to part from his girlfriend. He continued to watch Xie Hue Lin leaving the place with a smile and until he saw no one, He Chang Min dropped his smile.

From there he left the place to the washroom and washed the same lips he had used to kiss Xie Hue Lin. It felt disgusting to have his lips pressed with Xie Hue Lin that it felt as if his whole body had turned disgusting. It wasn’t the first time He Chang Min go kiss Xie Hue Lin but never once he was happy to be able to kiss Xie Hue Lin.

When He Chang Min was a child, he was diagnosed with acute asthma. There were many times when he find himself unable to breathe, as if he was going to die. It was healed now but with his family, Xie Hue Lin, and Xie Family, he felt like he was not breathing. It’s almost maddening how he still have to be in this place playing who he wasn’t.

He hated Li Jun Wei for being the person beside Li Lian now. But as hateful as he felt, he knew that Li Lian loves him and the man was someone who wouldn’t cast Li Lian aside. If it’s him, Li Lian’s would be happy. Wiping his lips, he heard his phone rang, his eyes fell to the unknown mail number and his eyes narrowed to read the short words sent in the email.

"I am Li Jun Wei, we have met a few times but without proper conversation. We both have words to say each other, Mr. He. I will be expecting you to come and meet me."
